Review by Rick Bradford
Man, I love Chris Cilla's work. He's one of those artists who just hits me in the right way. The work just seems so sincere somehow and that's appealing.
No Work is a colorful little booklet packed with scrambled collages of drawings and words both photocopied and silkscreened. It's stapled on the side, its pages uneven and there's no sequential content. Whether or not the individual pages even stand on their own is completely up to you. And that's what I like about it. It's a bit like some crazy silkscreen artist just went nuts with hundreds of tiny images and then chopped them up and stapled 'em together. How can that not be appealing?
